Arsenal vs Everton Prediction - Oct 24, 2026

Arsenal vs Everton prediction, odds and match preview

Our Arsenal vs Everton prediction points towards a controlled home victory when the teams meet at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, October 24, 2026. The Premier League Matchweek 8 fixture starts at 15:00 GMT, with Arsenal strongly favored but Everton capable of making the afternoon uncomfortable.

Team form, tactics and selection news

Arsenal begin the weekend second in the Premier League, three points behind Manchester City after collecting 18 points from seven matches. The Gunners have won consecutive league games, most recently beating Nottingham Forest 1-0 through a late Noni Madueke goal. A demanding 2-2 Champions League draw with Bayern Munich followed in midweek, so energy management may influence Mikel Arteta’s selection.

Arteta’s team have conceded only five league goals this season. Their approach is built around patient possession, quick pressure after losing the ball and defenders stepping high into midfield. Against an Everton side likely to stay compact, Arsenal must move the ball quickly rather than simply collecting possession like stamps.

Bukayo Saka is a major doubt after leaving the Bayern game in the tenth minute with a thigh or quadriceps problem. William Saliba remains unavailable with a back injury, while Christos Tzolis is out with a thigh or hamstring issue. Piero Hincapie has resumed individual work and could feature if he returns to full training. Martin Zubimendi is available again after recovering from an ankle complaint.

Everton sit fifth with 10 points. Their eight-match unbeaten opening across all competitions ended with a 2-0 home defeat to Chelsea, when Pedro Neto scored twice after half-time. David Moyes felt the first-half performance was reasonable, but admitted that his team did not create enough. That lack of attacking intent remains the main tactical concern.

Jarrad Branthwaite is available after passing concussion checks following a serious collision against Chelsea. Jake O’Brien, meanwhile, has struggled for minutes and has been told to wait for his opportunity. Away from the pitch, a possible sale by The Friedkin Group has created uncertainty, while talks over Moyes’ expiring contract have stalled.
